JAGO de la Vega, otherwise called Spanish-town, is the capital of the island of Jamaica, in the West Indies; and stands in 18° 1' north latitude, and 76° 45' west longitude. It is about a mile in length, and little more than a quarter of a mile in breadth, and contains between 500 and 600 houses, with about 4000 inhabitants of all colours and denominations. This town is situated in a delightful plain on the banks of the Rio Cobre, 13 miles from Kingston, and 10 from Port Royal. It is the residence of the commander in chief: and here the supreme court of judicature is held, four times in the year, viz. on the last Tuesdays of February, May, August, and November, and sits three weeks.—St Jago de la Vega is the county-town of Middlesex, and belongs to the parish of St Catharine; in which parish there are 11 sugar-plantations, 108 pens, and other settlements, and about 10,000 slaves.
